as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

    I’m just quoting Wikipedia. Not sure how that’s making me a lover of far right think tanks. You’re free to edit it and provide sources for it and it’ll be changed if it’s wrong.

    And yes, metrics such as 7/10 people can’t afford food. Not metrics such as “the country with only one political party is more democratic than western countries”.

    Anyway, we’re back to square one. Me quoting sources, you dismissing them and not providing anything in return. Typical. Anyway, nobody’s gonna read this far down anyway, so I’m out. Or storming off, as you like to put it. Mark another victory in your calendar. xD

      You’re quoting references to Far-Right think tanks as referenced on Wikipedia, don’t white-wash it.

      Yes, metrics change over time. Cubans on average are more food secure than US citizens over the last few decades, only recently has this changed. Additionally, Cuba is indeed more democratic, if you think democracy is measured by party and not by what and who you can vote on, you’re woefully misinformed.

      Gotcha, will do. Victory number 2 against you.
